Bill Summary
Amends the Illinois Municipal Code. Provides that the corporate authorities of a municipality may license and regulate all commercial operations within the municipality's boundaries, whether for profit or not for profit, but may not impose any tax upon their operations except as otherwise authorized by law. Limits the definition of "commercial operations" to exclude agritourism operations, agricultural properties, agribusinesses, agritourism activities, agricultural experiences, and pollution control facilities.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Illinois Municipal Code to grant municipalities the authority to license and regulate all commercial operations within their borders, regardless of whether they are for-profit or not-for-profit entities, with the crucial limitation that they cannot impose any taxes on these operations unless specifically allowed by other laws. The bill also clarifies what is *not* considered a "commercial operation" for the purposes of this regulation, explicitly excluding agritourism operations and activities, agricultural properties, agribusinesses, agricultural experiences, and pollution control facilities, thereby protecting these specific sectors from municipal taxation and regulation under this new provision.
